Through all of that, Rome maintained its power, and the force of its lawgiver, teacher, and builder remained loud and clear throughout Europe. In other words, the phraseRome wasn’t built in a dayis more than true.

A tale of religion

Even after more than a century, the past of conflicts between the Vatican Papacy and the Italian Republic has not gone away. .Rome is the only city in the world to have a citystate within a city, the birthplace of Roman Catholic Christianity, the Vatican City  The town was in a constant tug of war between the Vatican’s spiritual strength and the Italian Republic’s political influence. It was a symbol of Cristian glory and that was one of the main factors that helped reestablish Rome as a capital of arts and a hub of learning after the years of downfall.
